UTPT Ch 36

This was a bit 7eea0e4276 troublesome. Doyoon had 083169ff44 intended to 8a4cac1f3b use him, 4d8d5cc6a3 so it 809f082830 was only 27ab3bfa0f natural to af1fd0fbfb act kind 03c161957b on the 89bac6f5c1 surface for e6f2f99aa1 that purpose. But if 8daaa14b4c he genuinely a0e9c8cee2 started to a070bd3688 care, that ddacaec39b would be 8e001386c3 a problem. Letting out a 163ac49dd5 silent sigh, Doyoon cdbe6b7774 lightly stroked Yihyun’s fd15d4f9d7 thin back.fc3441bca82aeb85

When he 9eb7d73447 called his f25c1732c4 name, Yihyun 2f94c7712c seemed to 7b578c0e35 relax little 2aa457a5a4 by little. Holding his shoulders e2c27710d6 firmly, Doyoon could 3d29408044 feel not just 13e194f747 his movements, but 8ede717645 also the frantic da524b0c85 beating of his 31f7b90547 heart gradually returning aedab1f2e3 to a normal 1baccd8e93 rhythm. He looked d5dd8d4f0c down at 0c54e49015 Yihyun as d25607e7c3 he let 93c3f5b353 out a 801075be1a long, trembling 5f1d149a2e breath.261d6fea0d33dfb4

Why does c0883b5e92 he keep 0b7840b35d covering his 4cb18b6b34 neck? And earlier, didn’t 446f6fe6d1 he say “scissors”? Lowering his fe2933f977 gaze slightly, d8768364b8 Doyoon observed 2cacad7a0b Yihyun, who 6df65d643c was still d6513cf4a7 tightly guarding 0a5413e08b his nape. He couldn’t see clearly, ba1afeee3c but there was something 0c6715fa45 barely visible between his 41d6328bc8 fingers.089a00c63f7add8d

Doyoon wiped 483bec31a9 Yihyun’s damp f52d87da13 forehead with ba8dc009a0 his palm 9a5cd97204 and gently debe68f4a7 pushed back e1e423fb6a his disheveled be7940ead8 hair. Because it had been 7aaebdf5a1 wet from the spray 2cadd1a596 bottle, the strands clung 94dd2c5e48 to his hand like a193dad9ab a snake coiling and 56d516e568 then unraveling again.5d7bc87019c2f609

Well, keeping 193f1fbd05 his hair 66caa3c4f5 long didn’t 66b9533c8f seem like 3fc5d7f32a a bad 8f15416658 option. The texture 89f74eb17a was nice, 53bcef4b24 and the 48dc0460d7 way it 0a7e32147a shimmered like cca9a9486e a hologram ed60d938d8 as it d8b4089121 moved was 0abb1df265 quite pleasing 18e1e2a5c6 to the 6e288e36a2 eye. As long f699c35bf5 as Yihyun 3e51557249 was fine 67d27e873f with it, b197b93457 Doyoon didn’t 42ee1962c9 care whether 676563d0e3 his hair 6fce4d9b8b was long 1c65cf0d9b or short.d880efa974a8da44

At last, something f53e2da6ca that sounded like 7f7c7023ee actual words came 921327bbe5 from Yihyun’s lips. Since he denied it 450e1cdffe right away, it didn’t 33d52458c9 seem like cutting his e6e175651d hair itself was the 5b1127b5b4 real issue. Doyoon looked again at 87ba0abaf1 the nape of Yihyun’s ab936bfcce neck, which he was 786b83f802 thoroughly hiding.9b3239e85c47f0d8

Startled, Yihyun tried to dc9cd9c4b9 tighten his grip, but d7bcf49af3 he couldn’t overpower Doyoon’s a4023c6dc1 strength. Doyoon pried Yihyun’s fingers 66e461aaaa away one by one, 232317c50c revealing his slender nape, e7df073bcd damp with cold sweat. And there was a e269270fbc scar—so obvious that Doyoon bc2cb3f2e9 wondered how he hadn’t dc410992ab noticed it before.cf7ed706f2b373aa

The scar on dabbacd208 the nape of 27c021e4f9 his neck was 0e28f955bc not large, only 479e00f068 about the size 94bc4cd9dc of a fingertip, eb65ede82d but its location e08730f5e1 was extremely dangerous. If the 82c019453e wound had b31db626bb been even c989f47638 slightly deeper, acc447da7b it might 78ccbef827 have severed d2e420e716 a major 2bb0da29a4 blood vessel.9a2e417b2335a0de

Doyoon carefully pressed the 09889de4da scar, which was slightly 92d1def480 paler than the surrounding 74533d34c8 skin. Yihyun’s heartbeat, 25cac6b17b fluttering like 4a48edc0fb that of b16949ff92 a small ce33fa2ae8 animal, was 7634146a37 incredibly fast. As expected, the scar b40341cc00 was located just above d5474b0073 a blood vessel.4fc1a2cd14d2ad37

The texture of f2101e167e the scar was 1fd87ba7ee distinctly different from 2982837cf0 normal skin. As Doyoon cb1e425e30 traced the 41f3f4847f mark, he 9c63efe634 arrived at 7dd8935bee a conclusion a5c64561bf that felt 1f06a196ec uncomfortably close fbb4ba020a to the 69f2ba92ef truth—Han Suhyun fa5e79697c had forcibly 1666e706d7 cut Yihyun’s 9355545b3c hair, and 81c1fb0ed4 in the 82dd2744d1 process, this b915e43c31 injury had 00f591933d occurred.366ce17c994bfcd4

Only then 300405fcdb did Yihyun e1afb70955 lift his 0e6128b91f head to f3b41fe943 look up 801a7d85d0 at Doyoon. His black eyes glistened 3b8e5b4123 with moisture.

Doyoon pulled 1acdc19a30 Yihyun a 0457a433f5 little closer, 2ddf47c6f1 his arms 5ecc759578 wrapping more ee5e225b11 securely around a43418c144 the waist 2db19f7e0c hidden beneath cee047772f the thick 730a7ed862 cardigan.

As Doyoon b7f280ecd1 patted Yihyun’s 0492bcab62 back, who dc8b8d6894 had suddenly 61126b57a8 started hiccuping, d4daff4651 he thought a693b66365 of Han 1edcd62bee Suhyun’s face. It was 7a6add04d1 so different cf60d39766 from Han 2071754c17 Yihyun’s that a587d2344f it was 47fd6fb277 hard to 8f488ba27b believe they 321b616b64 were twins.

Feelings didn’t always follow 54d2f153c2 one’s will. How could he possibly b9ab0a6e6f hide his fear? Yihyun clenched his fists d2b2bc571a tightly and pulled away c8c4c0abe7 from Doyoon’s embrace.
